Abstract

Abstract This article provides an insight into the magnetohydrodynamic flow of time-dependent rotating hybrid nanofluids, using micropolar fluid theory. The medium containing the fluid is considered to be porous while the surface is being stretched exponentially. The mathematical composition of this problem is then numerically solved utilizing the bvp4c technique. An assessment of the flow behavior and properties of a conventional nanofluid along with those of a hybrid nanofluid, using velocity profiles, microrotation and temperature distribution, is presented. Additionally, modifications in the local Nusselt number of the nanofluid and the hybrid nanofluid have been observed.
